Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A team of researchers at the University of Houston have created functional pacemaker-like heart cells from fat-derived stem cells, which could be used as biological pacemakers. The pacemaker-like cells could…
Researchers have developed a new method of detecting chemicals that are secreted as stem cells differentiate into osteocytes, allowing scientists to study the complex bone stem cell differentiation process. Mesenchymal…
A great deal of research has been conducted on bone marrow, which contains stem cells capable of creating blood cells through life. However, little is known about the spatial organization…
A team of scientists in Brazil have used 3D bioprinting to create functional liver organoids in the lab. The mini-livers can perform all of the essential functions of human livers,…
A potential new treatment for male infertility is being tested by researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) Emory University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh. They will…
Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a protein that causes blood stem cells to renew at twelve times the rate in vitro. The discovery could…
Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have successfully grown fully functional lungs in mouse embryos using transplanted stem cells. Many types of lung diseases are progressive and ultimately prove…
CRISPR-Cas9 is a promising gene editing tool that makes it far easier for scientists to make edits to the genome. Rather than using more established gene editing techniques that require…
Image source: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute A team of scientist at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new 3D printing method that uses novel bioinks to create living skin complete…
A team of researchers in Australia have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 to prevent the expression of a gene that drives cervical cancer. The researchers’ technique was shown to be effective at…
